Doom 3 is not a great FPS!
It's gameplay is uninteresting and has basicly stayed like in Doom/Doom2
while the rest of the world has moved on to better things with much
better "A.I.", storyline and more.
Don't just buy the hype. Wait for reviews and be very critical of thoose
reviews coming out just before of after release. More often than not
such reviews are rushed and the reviewers may not even have completed
more than a few percent of the game!
Kind regards
Bruno

i think it's a great port from the pc version. the graphics are smooth, the
sound is amazing, and they've tweaked with the game to give it that edge it
was missing from the original. the single player is addictive enough to keep
you coming back and with the addition of co-op mode, you can enjoy it with a
buddy on or offline. also, if you play co-op mode, there's lots more enemies
to take care of. the only knock i'll give it is the online deathmatch isn't
that exciting. 4 players, a handful of maps... pretty uninspiring, hopefully
they'll release some downloadable content in the future. you'd think from
the guys that made quake they would've gone all out for the online modes.

| Yeh but its a shame that there is nothing special about Doom 3. Same as all
the other Doom and quake games. Think that the FPS market is really cack at
the moment. Deveolpers really need to think how they can make them original.
I mean there was nothing special about half life 2. They seem to concentrait
on making things look pretty.

doom 3 on xbox wasn't intended to break new ground in the fps genre, or
bring something 'special' with it's release. the developers were
straightforward about this. they wanted to REMAKE doom using todays
technology....graphics, lighting etc. they weren't looking to revolutionize
the fps....all they wanted to do was give us the same game, but this time
make it the way the developers imagined it to be when thought of it more
than a decade ago. doom 3 on xbox plays like doom from 93 because it was
planned that way. i've played about half the game and i thinks it rocks. the
'shame' in this is that people take a great game and still find things to
moan about. if you want something original, they're out there....phantom
dust, tron, psychonaughts, and a boat load i'm sure i have no clue even
exist.

As for pretty, when are more companies going to but up to 720p or 1080i...
480p 4:3 doesn't do it justice...

Actually, Doom 3 is 480p and fully supports 16:9. You can find out more on
it at http://www.hdtvarcade.com
I too would like more 720p or higher games. At least we have 35+ to choose
from already on the Xbox.
